[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Hapcheon-gun, Gyeongnam Province, and Korea Southern Power announced on the 20th that they will hold a forum with local residents by inviting environmental experts related to the power plant.

This is because public opinion among residents is divided between pros and cons regarding the Hapcheon Clean Energy Convergence Power Plant Complex Project, and through the forum, they plan to fulfill the residents' right to know and provide accurate information.

The forum will be held at the Ssangbaek Rural-Urban Exchange Center on the 24th for residents of Ssangbaek-myeon and on the 25th for residents of Samga-myeon.

Through an in-depth discussion between local residents and power plant environmental experts, they plan to resolve questions about changes in the surrounding environment due to the construction of the power plant and whether there is any damage to residents' lives and farming activities.

Officials from Hapcheon-gun and Korea Southern Power stated, “We will continue to provide more opportunities for communication such as forums and briefings based on more accurate data for local residents,” and added, “Active participation in the forum is necessary to derive reasonable results that can achieve mutual development with local residents. We ask for your active attendance at this forum.”
